US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have also repeatedly requested that China exert more pressure on North Korea. In this sense, one of the neighboring countries that CPC needs to give special attention to is no doubt its belligerent, nuclear-armed ally, North Korea. Korea experts in China recently published a comprehensive analysis of the nuclear problem of the Korean Peninsula, A Study of Crisis Management of the Korean Peninsula. Published internally by the People’s Liberation Army, this book is considered a genuine assessment of the intentions behind the CPC’s North Korean policy. This is not to say that China is humanitarian and philanthropic, nor does it mean the “blood brothers alliance” between China and North Korea is obsolete.
